Just heard about this

My son treated his sister, my wife, and me to go see "The Hobbit" Christmas Day. As usual, I was carrying my S&W Model 19, concealed. The theater here in Beloit is not posted "no weapons", or we wouldn't have been there.

Update: WOAI now reports it was an off-duty sergeant who fired a total of four shots, wounding the shooter. An Initial report by 1200 WOAI news said that an off-duty sheriff’s deputy shot the suspect one time.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says the off-duty
sergeant, who was working security, heard the gunshots and came running.
She saw the gunman coming out of the men’s restroom. The Sheriff’s
Office says the gunman did not shoot at her, but his gun was drawn so
she opened fire.
That off-duty sergeant, identified as Lisa Castellano, fired four
times, wounding the gunman. Only one other person was wounded, a
49-year-old man inside the theater, who was hit by one of the gunman’s
shots. Both are expected to recover.
Investigators say about 30 rounds were fired. It’s unclear why the
break-up with his girlfriend caused the man to go after his co-workers.
Investigators haven’t ruled out a love-triangle involving someone else
at the restaurant.

With one shot, an off-duty sergeant took down a gunman who attempted
to opened fire at a crowded movie theater lobby during a late night
showing of “The Hobbit” in San Antonio, 1200 WOAI news reports.

Police say a gunman, identified as Jesus Manuel Garcia,
chased patrons from the nearby China Garden Restaurant into the lobby
of the Santikos Mayan 14 movie theater at around 9 p.m. on Sunday.
Garcia, an employee of the restaurant, reportedly walked in the
establishment looking for a woman.

The guy used a Glock 23. Must have changed magazines a couple times.
